did you solve it ? if yes how ?

I have a problem, when we want to edit a shout, we are to limit in number of characters :(

Nope, still wating for a solution.

All I am getting is "Loading..." as well. Any way to resolve this?

Thanks. It installed easily and quickly. :)

Is it possible to have the shoutbox only show up in our the staff forums? and not on the main forum pages? I was also thinking of only having it dispaly in our premium member forums as well a separate install with different postings? Is this possible? Thanks

For my members that got that error I just told them to flush the cache and refresh ... Voila ... it worked....

Great hack ... although when I add banned usergroups (ie not logged in) I get this error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbshout.php on line 288

Any ideas?

How easy was that to install!!!! Great Hack.... Thanks!

are you sure you have the format correctly?


i.e. 1,3,5,7,8

thats what it should look like.

Same for me. Probably it has something to do with earlier installations of other shoutbox hacks?

I entered 1,3,5 - Unregistered / Not Logged In, Users Awaiting Email Confirmation and (COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation - but as it turns out, if you're not logged in, you can't post anyway, so does this come under the classification of a conflict issue?

[EDIT]Found it, must be an issue with the setting for the options, you can only set it to 'Can view shoutbox and messages' or 'Cannot view shoutbox' - the last one 'Can view shoutbox, but not messages' throws back the error ... works fine now after changing from that option :D[/EDIT]

superb mod, that's what I was looking for..supper dooper easy to install and working kwel ;) good job Zero Tolerance!

...at first... this is that I WANT!!!! thanks!

please can you explain this... ?
TIA

I noticed this on my boards too... any fix for this?

alright I noticed all the past shouts are stored in the database. Is there a way to prune those stored shouts or could you make a feature to auto-prune any past shouts?

cause I rather not have my shoutbox storing a ton of past old worthless shouts that are not needed in the first place.

I have looked around at other installs of vB shout, and its the same, is there a way to fix this?

Have the same issue on my site. My whole right block gets moved over and that adds the scroll bar on the bottom of the page. Once I hit F5, it goes back to normal.

Can't figure out how to fix that. For the time being I disabled it. Only happens with Firefox.

One thing I noticed is that it loads all the smilies each time your forumhome is loaded.

I had it setup to load ALL my smilies, not just random ones. For some reason, it was loading 150 graphics on my forumhome.

This is fine on a high speed connection, but it caused it to load slow on lower-end connections. Plus, its a waste of bandwidth if someone never clicks on the smiley link.

So for now, I have the smiley button disabled.

In my style manager I went to "forumhome_vbshout_archive_shout"
and replaced the code as not to include an edit or delete button.
Would be nice to someday have the code reflect the buttons for only administrator... But this is one AWESOME hack. Works like a chat! Really nice!
Thank you!

Definitely installed!

How do you remove the smilie button all together?

Is there a way we can delete the shouts after 'X' days or say after 'X' Shouts ? In 4 days we've racked up 20K shouts and I shudder to think about the future carnage this can cause ;)

when I go to vbshout.php

I get this Invalid SQL:

select s.*, u.username, u.usergroupid from shout s
left join user u on (u.userid = s.s_by)
order by s.sid desc limit 20;

MySQL Error : Table 'snowboar_vbtest.shout' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146

Just typle /prune to your shoutbox and it will prune all the messages.

Thank's installed with just a snap of the finger!

Is there any way to make the Shoutbox open in a new window? It would be great to have it open that way, allowing us to create a larger chat window.

Thoughts?

this is the best shoutbox Ive seen ... its very good ZT...

Ive looked around for the answer to this but cant see anything so sorry if this has already been asked - but is there a way to remove the Today bit from the time stamp ? I found my way into the .php file and removed a line from there - at first it seemed to have worked - the time stamp was just [11:45pm] or whatever - but when I tried to post a message in the shoutbox it didnt post anything and on trying to post another message it came back saying posting in progress... obviously Id done something wrong :(

any ideas anyone - on how to remove the Today part ?

thanks in advance

Hey im having a problem with this, it installed fine and everything, but in the shoutbox it just says Loading... the whole time and it doesnt accept my shouts when i enter a message

Thanks ZT. We've added it to our forum and it was easy as pie to do. And then my stupid gene kicked in and I couldn't find the controls. My sanity returned and it is safe to say that I did find them and am very happy!

Installed!

you're saying v2.0 is out, but when I download the zip file, in the txt it says v1.5!

the file wasnt updated with the new name...trust me, its version 2.0

thank you for that tip , my shouts were also building up and was starting to get worried and could'nt find a way to delete them.

but turns out its so quick and easy

The only bug I have noticed so far is it breaks the template slightly to the right in firefox sometimes, not always. Other than that it works great

Ug. There is a permission problem with the shoutbox ZT.

Anyone with moderator abilities (not even just the moderator user category but even those who are moderators in on specified area) can edit everyone's shouts.
This sounds like a limited problem but I'm also using the "everyone can have their private message area" hack... which then makes everyone moderators in their own areas. Is there any way to make this so that only Admins can edit shouts?

I have an interesting idea for saving bandwidth on the shout box.

Idle throttling, so the longer a person does not type in a shoutbox, the longer the delay between refreshes are, capped at some value still, but it would help for those who may leave an index page open and goto work or something.

Adding the shoutbox added alot of bandwidth usage to my site, so I was thinking on howto reduce it. What do you think Zero?

OK i have alot of users having problems with the refresh
sometime the shouts freezes with them
also Firefox users having this problem more than IE users

any idea why ?!

HTML is enabled in my box. Is that something I screwed up, a setting I missed or something that can be stopped?
Excellent Mod! Thank you.

To make text in ShoutBox smaller font do it by adding this
go to this template name = forumhome_vbshout_shout

and add this code ####################################

or easy way is to delete everything in forumhome_vbshout_shout template

and copy and past this code in to it

tried that mate, but it didnt make a bit of difference...lol

EDIT : realised its coz it already was at font size =2

changed that to font = 1, and it worked....

Smilies are not working for the shoutbox here http://biblocality.com/forums

Smilies also still not working om my forum...??
